Active controls |
Provides a granular, list-based view of your individual governance monitors and their current health. For a control to appear here as "active" its specific control query must be enabled on its corresponding Managed Control asset page. Key elements include:
|
Trend versus Activity
Trend is the default view. It shows a month-over-month comparison of your control statuses. Trend data is a point-in-time snapshot. Data is captured at the end of each month, or daily for the current month.
It uses a stacked bar chart to show the total number of controls that were Passing versus Failing, helping you visualize whether your overall compliance posture is improving or declining over time.
Switching to Activity shifts the focus from status to "events". It highlights the volume of changes or triggers occurring within your controls during that period, such as new controls being created, existing ones being modified, or manual overrides taking place.
Interactive details
The charts are interactive. You can hover your cursor over any colored section of a bar to trigger a detailed tooltip. The tooltip provides the exact "position" or count as of the end of that specific month, breaking down the precise number of failing controls, passing controls, and the total volume.
The Controls page provides a centralized environment for managing your individual governance monitors. This page allows you to organize and investigate your entire portfolio of controls through a flexible and actionable interface.
